The center of the world

Seventeen-year-old Phil has felt like an outsider as long as he can remember. All Phil has ever known about his father is that he was Number Three on his mother's list - third in a series of affairs that have set Phil's family even further apart from the critical townspeople across the river. As for his own sexuality, Phil doesn't care what the neighbours will think; he's just waiting for the right bloke to come along.

  • "Liebe und mehr: Aus der Sicht des siebzehnjährigen Phils erleben wir seinen Alltag, erfahren aber auch Episoden aus seiner Vergangenheit. Phil lebt mit seiner Mutter Glass und seiner Zwillingsschwester Dianne in einem baufälligen Haus abseits einer Stadt. Glass kümmert sich weder um Konventionen, noch um die Erwartungen ihrer Kinder. So erhalten die Geschwister schon früh viel Raum, um eigene Wege zu gehen. Der empfindsame Phil wirkt sehr selbständig und kann sich zugleich Unsicherheiten eingestehen. Er sinniert über die unbekannte Identität seines Vaters, doch auch über die Verschlossenheit von Dianne. Und er verliebt sich unsterblich in Nicholas, mit dem er heimlich seine ersten sexuellen Erfahrungen macht. Plötzlich nimmt die Handlung eine dramatische Wendung. Das Buch vermittelt sprachlich und mit dem beschriebenen Geschehen einen respektvollen Einblick in das Seelenleben eines jungen Mannes. In angemessenen Zusammenhängen wird dabei auch die Problematik der (Homo)-Sexualität angesprochen. Ein lesenswertes Buch, das ich allen Jugendlichen und ihren Betreuungspersonen unbedingt empfehlen kann. Ab 14 Jahren, *****, Katharina Eggenschwiler."
